Beware of GSEC (www.noleadtime.com) a notorious company famous for bringing in Chinese counterfeit semiconductors and electronic components from Chinese flea markets.

Please be informed that this company is using ISO-9001 certification to legitimise his illegal trade in collaboration with husband and wife scammers by name Mark Snider and Kristal snider .

Sniders are ill reputed for giving protection to many illegal traders, counterfeiters and supporting their trade on the basis of a annual cut. Sniders also provide financial transaction assistance, visual inspection service to illegal exporters of China and illegal imports of Chinese pirated goods into USA.

On many occassions Kristal snider declare herself to be protector of this industry showing her association with authorities like CBP, FBI etc, while doing all sort of illegal and unethical trade practices. All that she wants is cut out of booming chinese counterfeit semiconctor industry in America and rest of Globe. She is ill famed lady popular for supporting many shady brokers of America who are corrupting supply Chain. If not 100s of illegal traders like GSEC will not mushroom easily in America, who are making this continent infested with fradulent parts and corrupting supply chain with pirated goods.

Many Chinese list brokers in USA are trying to legitimise their business using private agencies like ERAI , IDEA etc. Apart from counterfeit semiconductor, American brokers are also famous of selling and buying fake, replicas of designer bags, rolex watches, fake perfumes and many other fake goods which are worth over 200 billion dollars every year. I hope some Snider (erai) like agency will also pop up to protect and legitimise their business for a share, while defrauding the whole country and common public. It will be very unfortunate to see that Canal street brokers ( New york street flea market shops who sell counterfeits) are also having support of agencies like ERAI and then trying to bully honest and legitimate business people .

Global solutions Electronics company( Joe maxwell) is one of biggest buyer of pirated/ fradulent parts from China. Beware of these names who are well known for promoting supporting and making money out of fradulent parts.

There are many more names apart from GSEC who are actively involved in counterfeit trade while trying to ruin legitimate brokers who are their competitors.

Please note that many OEMs who buy illegal parts from GSEC and ERAI shops are ultimate looser if those are not detected timely. It involves big loss, bad reputation and failures to OEMs and customers.

Let us be careful from these illegal traders and the agencies like ERAI who are corrupting this continent for personal gain. This company is even misusing ISO certification to sell replicas, fakes, fradulents and counterfeit parts.

There is one question remain to be answered for everyone, why do these companies, or self proclaimed watch dogs, harp about quality and ethical business practices with the trading of counterfeit parts? No matter any amount of quality test performed on counterfeit part, still it remains counterfeit. There is absolutely no need of quality checks if you buy branded parts from genuine source.

It is a sad story though, a couple Mark Snider and Kristal W.Snider from plymouth, who were basically selling flowers from their Diane's Duxbury home came into this business starting in a dingy room at 19R Main street Plymouth, MI. Later moved to Florida in 2006.This couple is so greedy they left no table unturned whatever gave them money without doing much work. Kristal Snider started with Nurse work, later shifted to over dozen businesses along with her husband, right from printing fliers, business cards, selling cargo insurances, web designing, and so on. Basically they had no technical background to be in electronic component industry.

Now coming to her venture ERAI, which is basically a membership organisation of brokers across the world, but its main objective was to help network American brokers and Chinese brokers where chunk of business comes from. Brokers not having access to many parts in open market often resorted to Chinese made fake/counterfeit and pirated parts including military and aviation grade parts. This networking helped her bring millions of dollars in membership. She and her husband also carried out multi million escrow processes between Chinese flea market suppliers and American buyers, knowing that 99% parts sold in open chinese market are pirated and hence counterfeits. She kept on networking counterfeits to boost her revenue, while to attract more and more international members other than china, she harped on her love for anti-counterfeiting theory. She developed few ways to improvise counterfeits which is been taught to Chinese suppliers so that the components do not get intercepted by layman or even border officials. Thanks to Kristal snider who has made America a biggest buyer of pirated electronic components. America consumes over 75% of pirated components made in China, which no other industrially developed countries like Singapore, Malaysia, South Korea, Japan or India would buy.

It is often the greed of fat margin of Americans brokers and their lavish lifestyle , encouraged Chinese to produce more and more counterfeits. Networking power, improvising visual aspects and escrow services by ERAI helped this trade rocket to its peak level. No wonder there are big brokers who openly bought and./or sold tonnes of counterfeits:

Apart from these ,there were nearly 500 known flea market vendors in China, joined ERAI network changed their names after selling counterfeits, came back with different names. ERAI happily entertained them , as long as they got their kickbacks in the form of membership and escrow fees. She conducted many booze parties for brokers to market her membership network.

Among these many of these companies even used ISO and ANAB certifications besides using networking power of IDEA and ERAI.

No wonder today most American military organizations like NASA, PENTAGON, BAE and other companies including aviation companies are struggling with insurge of pirated components in their equipments.

Still if someone wants to trust Kristal Snider, Mark A. snider and her close associate Terry M. lively then it is upto you. We can judge who are those people working behind the screen to link billion dollar piracy network which operates between China and USA. Many American companies in-turn sell those military counterfeits to other countries with their American lables and American advantages along with ERAI, IDEA tags. Companies like USBID, V&C Technologies, AERI are still churning millions with the sound support of Kristal snider.

Decide for yourself who is working behind the show besides greedy brokers. This has become epidemic in last 5 to 6 years. Something which could have been at very minor had ERAI not ventured into this illegal trade to pump out money. Yes there are major B2B sites like EBAY, THE BROKERFORUM, NETCOMPONENTS, HKINVENTORY.COM who provided platform to market pirated products.

(FYI 90% of ERAI members , associates, affiliates are involved in distribution of pirated/counterfeit commercial and military components)

Request to readers : Call Kristal W.snider, Mark Snider on 239-261-6268 or 239-348-3530 and ask them to stop spreading terror in USA and rest of world.,

To Whom It May Concern:

For the last several years, ERAI, its principals and employees have been the target of an intense smear campaign orchestrated by an individual who seeks to bring harm to ERAI, its principals, employees and any person or business who interferes with the perpetrators ominous cyber attacks. For a long period of time, ERAI was more or less exclusively the primary target of these libelous broadcasts. Now, numerous businesses are among the victims of these often-times unprovoked outbursts.

ERAI is frequently asked why these posts have been and continue to be made. Simply put, due to the nature of our organization which involves monitoring, investigating, reporting, and mediating issues affecting the global supply chain of electronics, it is not uncommon to have companies that have been reported by ERAI attempt to discredit our organization. The hundreds of posts that are currently visible on the Internet have been made by one individual using dozens of Internet screen names. Because the Internet provides bloggers with a cloak of anonymity, a person can create the illusion of numerous disgruntled or concerned individuals when that is simply not the case. The author of these posts is an individual that was reported by ERAI for selling faulty material. He made numerous threats against ERAI and its employees both during the investigation and after he was reported.

It helps to have a better understanding of our organization in order to understand the motivation of these types of criminals. Founded in 1995 and incorporated in 1996, ERAI is a privately held trade organization that has been the industry's primary reporting and investigation service supplying information, mediation and risk mitigation solutions to electronics professionals worldwide. Membership to ERAI is open to franchised and independent distributors, OEMs, OCMs, CMs, test houses, government agencies and associations serving the industry. ERAI is actively involved in a number of committees and task forces that are addressing the issue of counterfeit parts in the global supply chain of electronics.

There are a number of reasons why counterfeiting has become so rampant in the last few years, such as the breakdown of trade barriers among countries with less restrictive IP laws, the green initiatives that have led to more e-waste and easy access through the Internet to market and sell material easily. Counterfeiting has become a global issue affecting multiple industries from electronics to golf clubs, pharmaceuticals and tobacco, among others. It is particularly troubling to ERAI since counterfeit electronics can not only affect individuals health and safety, but could even be a threat to national security. Every industry has been affected and ERAI is working diligently to address the problem in the electronics sector and to offer solutions to this very serious issue. Unfortunately, we have to accept the fact that the Internet creates an audience for individuals to post information that is entirely false, inaccurate and without merit.

ERAI is uniting the industry in addressing issues that are plaguing the market and we hope you can be part of the solution with us.

ERAI deeply regrets the frustration and/or confusion these cyber attacks have caused. Despite the difficult obstacles ERAI must sometimes face, it will continue to provide the valuable information and services its Members have come to rely upon to make the most informed business decisions possible. ERAI remains committed to serving its customers with the integrity and professionalism the semiconductor industry has come to expect.

These companies buy 100$ worth part from china for 5 $ and then they complain it is counterfeit and China is giving them substandard products blah..blah... But my dear friends, if you buy Windows Vista or XP for 1 $ what will you get? Or if you pay 1 $ for Chanel perfume, you know what will you get?

Now you guys have started China referencing site called ORAFEC as well as ERAI.com, tell me what is the use? The best thing for you guys would be to stop buying fake and counterfeit military components from China and stop cheating your own buyers, pentagon, nasa and other OEM's. Only then you will be known honest or legitimate, else in the run of making fast bucks with Chinese counterfeits you are cheating on your country and your buyers.

It is not very ethical and bringing pirated parts from China is illegal. Moreover the parts you bring from China doesn;t come under official import as most of the packages come from there come as sample package or under invoiced package. So it also becomes case of money laundering and illegal foreign trade.

No matter if you label FAKE WINDOWS VISTA or fake military chips with ISO-9001 label, or ERAI label or IDEA-1010 private labels, they don;t become genuine or licensed. Try labelling fake Chanel perfume with above American lables, if it becomes genuine. Infact many b2b sites in America now offering escrow and business exclusively for piracy trade eg. netcomponents, brokerforum etc. It is Americans who will stoop very low for survival or for an extra crate of beer in weekend.

Don't blame China, but it is your greed which has prompted china to make more and more military fighter jets counterfeits, if you do not buy why will they make. It is because America is buying more than 75% of Chinese counterfeit products than any other country.
